I feel a bit sorry for all those who have spent fortunes arranging trips to Sydney and Melbourne now only to see dead tests.


Just a bit sorry mind, they are still going to have a good holiday!

think my bet of 3-1 in the series is looking good....the last one is always a fix if the series is already won....

agreed, we usually win the dead one at the end

I feel 4-1 is pretty likely

Some people on 5 Live yesterday were saying they were going to cancel their trips because of it.

I'd still go

To be honest i'd still be backing 5-0, the aussies would love nothing more than to whitewash england in the ashes and to be honest i cant see where an england victory is going to come from even if the aussies take their foot off the gas.

Agreed, sad but true. Even their wicket keeper is batting brilliantly. Wink

some of the shots they have played to get out in that innings are increible, they look more like one day chase shots than 5 day test first innings shots.

having watched them in the first 3 games they didnt appear to care to start with...............

I think they tried as hard as they could really, they are just up against a great team with home advantage.

Having watched them every ball in the first 5 games......... the true british mentality towards success and failure shines thru,just 15 months ago people jumped on the bandwagon of success and they enjoyed it,now a few of these people  post unknowledgable uncontructive shit because the team have been stuffed.What people like matt should realise is that the 2005 ashes victory was a fluke and just because the manger caused a stink by picking the wrong spinner in the first 2 tests in oz if he had'nt it would not have changed the results anyway.
Just because the far better team have won why do people start saying the English players dont care?it really pisses me off to see and hear such crap,Decider youve hit the nail on the head and i could'nt agree more with your concise analysis.

Some of the play from the England side has been appauling though!   I don't thing it's just because we're all miserable old buggers who don't like losing (although it doesn't help)  Some of the shots the batsmen have been going out to are laughable.  It pains me to say it but KP, who is one of our better and more exciting players has been out 3 or 4 times playing shots he shouldn't have been playing.

For years, people took the mick out of Geoff Boycott for his 'make sure you don't get out' mentality, especially when the Australians were caning everyone at more than four an over. This is exactly what we needed during this series.

At times the England players have looked like they were trying to dust the ball instead of hit it in the middle of the bat.

I for one would love to see Warne make his 100 here. I know he is on the other team but hey, you have to acknowledge brilliance.
